Almighty Coach

Marcus stood on the court with a charitable heart.

He looked at the big man with sports glasses next to him, and guessed that this was the handicapped Auston, who was blind.

One of Auston's eyes is a prosthetic eye, so he will wear sports glasses as a protective role when participating in the game.

For Auston, being able to play games, even in the development league, is an extremely precious opportunity.

Auston cherishes this opportunity very much. He is very solemn. In fact, for such a patient with Marfan syndrome, every game should be regarded as the last game of his career.

A shot missed, Auston desperately grabbed an offensive rebound, this is his first time to get the ball.

Marcus, who played against him, hesitated slightly, then opened his arms and did not try to block, allowing Aston to make a layup and score the ball.

The audience at the scene immediately gave Aston thunderous applause to encourage a disabled person to score a goal, which is very inspirational and worthy of cheering.

"Well, I'm here to do charity." Marcus secretly said. He didn't take this goal seriously, but he had a sense of lavish beneficiaries.

In the next offensive and defensive round, Auston took the initiative to get the ball in the high position, Marcus did not immediately follow up the defense, Auston scored two more points by shooting directly.

"It's not easy for a disabled person, let you get two points." Marcus secretly said.

...

A minute later, Auston received an assist from his teammate and scored a dunk. He had already scored 6 points.

"Let him score 6 points, and this charity is almost done. Next time, I have to seriously defend." Marcus comforted himself.

In fact, these three conceded goals were all caused by Marcus' defensive omissions. This former NBA first center did not take Auston in his eyes at all. Marcus feels that if you are disabled, Turned upside down!

However, Marcus did not know that Auston, who scored three goals in a row, had already played confidence!

"It turns out I'm so powerful that I can score on the head of the NBA's first center, and I even scored 6 points, like a dream!"

"No, when I was dreaming, it seemed that I really played against Marcus. He felt that the Marcus in the dream was the same as the real Marcus."

Auston already has confidence, he feels capable of playing against Marcus.

The next ball, Auston held the ball directly in the low post, one-on-one singles Marcus.

Faking, turning around, making fake moves, and turning around again, Auston directly used a set of fantastic steps to shake Marcus away and then dunked with one hand.

The scene suddenly boiled, a 7-foot-1 long man, but used such a dexterous footsteps, but also shook the NBA's first center!

More importantly, he is a disabled person!

After the goal, Auston was stunned himself. He suddenly felt that the so-called NBA first center did not seem to be difficult to deal with.

In fact, in this set of steps, Auston trained 500 hours in the dream. Then through nearly a thousand hours of running-in, Auston is already very skilled in mastering this set of steps.

The opposite Marcus, with a gloomy face, was successfully beaten one-on-one by a disabled person. He felt a sense of humiliation.

"It's enough for you to take three balls. You didn't expect you to get in." Marcus flashed a cold look in his eyes, and he decided to give Auston a look.

The ball passed into Marcus's hand. He chose to go back to the singles. He wanted to buckle one on Auston's head.

On the body, Marcus is indeed stronger than Orston, otherwise he will not be the first center of the NBA. Moreover, Orston suffers from Marfan Syndrome and he cannot possibly pursue weight.

I saw that Marcus held the ball in position and directly used his body to go inside, but Auston couldn't bear Marcus' strength at all and could only keep going backwards.

Then Marcus leaned against Auston and turned around.

But at this moment, Auston suddenly relieved his strength, which made Marcus' body instantly lose its balance.

Marcus is not a vegetarian, he stabilized his body in an instant, and adjusted his body to a suitable offensive rhythm, directly attacking the basket.

However, Auston's hand stretched out at this time, digging upwards, and cut the ball directly. The timing of the ball is very perfect, and the movement is also very accurate.

A successful defense, in the eyes of professionals, is simply a textbook-style performance with a weak win over a strong post defense.

Marcus was angry.

One-on-one was lost when defending, and one-on-one was also lost when attacking, and the opponent is also a disabled person, which is too shameful!

After getting angry, Marcus decided to give 100% of his skills, regardless of whether he is a disabled person, then his opponent has no arms and legs, and this time he will definitely not release water!

However, after several consecutive attack and defense rounds, Marcus found that he did not take any advantage at all.

The Auston he faced, although his physical fitness was far inferior to him, but his technology was very solid. More importantly, he did not behave like a rookie at all.

Marcus even felt that this disabled person's game experience is more abundant than himself.

Over the past few months, Auston has often participated in the game in his dreams, which is already comparable to that of an ordinary NBA player in 30 seasons. He has also accumulated 30 seasons of game experience.

Does anyone in the NBA play 30 seasons?

Certainly not.

Auston, a rookie, has 30 seasons of game experience. Switching to any rookie, giving him thirty years of NBA game experience, can also make a difference on the field.

In this game, Aston played 20 minutes and scored a double-double of 15 points and 8 rebounds. More importantly, he scored this score on the head of the former NBA center Marcus.

In contrast, Marcus also got a large double-double of 28 points and 15 rebounds, the data is more preliminary than Auston, but Marcus played 39 minutes.

Marcus was really not happy at all.

...

After the press conference, Marcus faced the reporter with a somber face.

The data of 28 + 15 is already very good, but Marcus feels that it is not enough. Before he was injured, he was the first center in the NBA, so Marcus felt that he had to brush a 30 + 20 data when he came to the development league.

More importantly, the disabled person he has got 15 + 8 data, although this is only half of Marcus ’s data, but people have less playing time. If the same is replaced by 40 minutes of playing time, Austria Ston's data will not be worse than Marcus.

There is no harm without comparison!

The encounter with Marcus felt that he had been injured 10,000 points.

"I'm the NBA's first center! It's the same as a disabled person's data, it's a shame! If the result of this game is passed, everyone will think that I can't even get a disabled person!"

For Marcus, not to mention the same data, even if the data is a small win, he is considered a loser. But to put it another way, if Marcus crushes Auston in the audience, there is nothing gratifying. If you win a disabled person in the first center of the NBA, then it is normal. What is worth showing off!

...

15 points and 8 rebounds, this data is not high in the development league, many players who can not play in the NBA, in the development league can easily brush out the average double-double per game data.

However, if you can get this data in Marcus' hands, then there will be gold content. Even in the NBA, there are few centers who can get this stat when playing against Marcus.

It is also the excellent performance of this game, which allowed Auston to win more playing time. As a result, Auston's statistics have been largely improved.

In the next five Development League games, Aston can get a large double-double of 25 + 15 per game.

Auston ’s skills and body are more than adequate for dealing with the development league game, but his 30 seasons of experience in the dream are not available to other players.

The salary of the NBA Development League is very small. Once there was a player who insisted on staying in the Development League. When there was no game, he had to rely on part-time work and part-time jobs to make a living.

After staying in the Development League for a year or two, many young athletes found that they did not have the opportunity to enter the NBA, so they chose to play overseas. For example, in the leagues of China, Turkey, and Israel, the salary of foreign aid is very good. It is also higher than playing the development alliance.

Therefore, the development league is basically a rookie who lacks game experience, and experienced old players have long since left.

In this environment, Aston, who has 30 seasons of experience, stands out instantly.

Two months later, Auston finally got a chance to play in the NBA.

Auston signed a two-way contract, which means he can play for 45 days with the Los Angeles Clippers each season.

...

In the Clippers 'training hall, Auston has begun practicing with the Clippers' other players.

On the sidelines, the Clippers manager Johnson was standing next to Li Dai, talking about Auston.

"Coach Li, your vision is really good. After watching his training, I can confirm that this kid can play in the NBA. He really works hard!" Johnson said, staring at Auston with both eyes. The look was like looking at a cash cow.

"He lost his eyes when he was young, and he still suffers from Marfan syndrome, so he has fallen behind before starting. If he wants to continue playing basketball, he has to work harder than normal people." Li Dai After a quick voice, he continued: "But there is never a shortage of hard-working players in the NBA."

"His talent is also very good, but unfortunately, without Marfan syndrome, he may become a great player." Johnson sighed.

"As long as he can stand in the NBA, then he is a great player." Li Dai turned his voice and then asked: "Do you really plan to let him appear in the Christmas War?"

"Yes! That's a national live broadcast!" Johnson put on another expression that fell into Qian's eyes, and then said: "A young man with a disability has finally stepped onto the NBA stage through continuous efforts and fulfilled his dream. What a inspirational story, you can already make a movie. So I have ordered 100,000 sets of jerseys and various souvenirs for him ... "

Johnson kept talking about his money-raising strategy, but Li Dai shook his head helplessly.

For Johnson, the inspirational example of Auston is indeed a cash cow.

...

On Christmas, the Lakers play against the Clippers, the same city derby, and it is still broadcast live in the United States!

Auston sat on the bench with a confused expression, as if he hadn't understood his situation yet.

This is not the first time he came to the Staples Arena, nor is it the first time he came to the scene of an NBA game, but this time is different, this time he walks through the player channel! This time he is on the bench! This time he was wearing a jersey with his name on it!

"NBA, I'm finally here!"

A gleam of tears shed light in Auston's eyes.

With blindness in the right eye and Marfan syndrome, Auston, a man abandoned by God, stood up again and again after a blow and challenged his own destiny.

Today, he finally came here as he wished. On this Christmas, he got a best Christmas present.

Auston remembers that when he was twelve, an accident caused him to lose his right eye, and the coach persuaded him to give up basketball.

But Auston did not compromise on fate. He loves basketball and he wants to challenge it.

In order to stay on the basketball court, he put in more effort than normal people.

Because there is no right eye, the opponent only needs to cover his left half of the line of sight when shooting, so that he can not see the basket.

Because there is no right eye, when defending in the penalty area, the opponent only needs to defend him on the left.

So on the field, Auston is always targeted.

In order to continue playing, Auston practiced the offensive on the right side, his right eye was invisible, so he could only attack by feeling, which was almost equivalent to a layup with his eyes closed.

He paid what ordinary people can't imagine, and finally succeeded. He became the top three high school students in the United States. He attracted many NBA scouts. Those draft websites predicted that he could be selected in the top three.

But fate made a joke with him again, he was found to have Marfan syndrome!

This almost announced the end of his career as an athlete.

But he once again chose to challenge fate!

He succeeded again.

...

Finally, in the second half of the second quarter, Auston was sent on the field.

At this moment, the audience stood up and began to malfunction for him and cheered him. As Li Dai said, as long as Auston can stand on the court, then he is a great player.

On the court, teammates gave Auston a look of encouragement, while the opponent's gaze at Auston was full of complex emotions.

Such a player who has been abandoned by fate is now standing in front of them. Such an opponent will only make people feel shocked!

Receiving the ball, turning around, hooking, and scoring, Auston completed his first goal in the NBA.

Also in this one, the camera lens captured the tears in Auston's eyes, only the left eye!

Because his right eye is blind, his right tear gland has lost its function, so his right eye cannot cry.

It is also this scene that seems to remind everyone that this is a disabled person and a person abandoned by God!

"Wow la la la la ..." Applause continued.

"Aoao Aoao ..." screaming resounded throughout the audience.

Even the referee did not pass the ball to the serving player. He hoped that Aston would enjoy cheering and applause for a while.

This is the moment for Auston, even if he just scored a goal ...

...

"The disabled must be stronger!" Li Dai sighed with emotion.

Li Dai has given Auston 30 years of training experience. Based on this, he can definitely stand in the NBA, at least it is no problem to play a rotation.

And Auston ’s career is destined not to last long. If one day he is checked out for heart disease or an aortic aneurysm, then his career will also end. For patients with Marfan syndrome, this is only a matter of time.

"I can help you, and that's all. I hope the complications of Marfan syndrome can come later, so that I will play longer in the NBA."

...

American Athletic Association.

"Mr. Chairman, Li Dai rejected our invitation. He said he did not want to continue to be the head coach of the American track and field team."

"Why? We have given him enough power!" The chairman of the Association of Track and Field puzzled: "Is it a step ahead of the track and field associations of other countries? Or is he going to return to China as the head coach?"

"No, he did not accept any head coaching duties, he intends to open an Olympic training camp."

The president of the American Association of Athletics expressed a tight expression: "What a big ambition!"

...

Franz Mueller is on vacation.

In the IAAF year-end Grand Prix just ended, Mueller won the men's pole vault championship. For him, this year's competition task has been completed, he can enjoy a vacation of up to two months.

A reminder of a new email appeared on the screen of the phone. Mueller opened the mailbox and saw an invitation letter.

"Coach Li is going to start an Olympic training camp!" Mueller suddenly sat up from the recliner.

A moment later, Mueller called the agent ’s phone: “I ’m afraid my vacation is coming to an end. I ’m going to Los Angeles. Coach Lee has opened an Olympic training camp! Of course I ’m going to participate! Next year ’s Olympics, I want Defend it! "

...

South Africa in January is during summer.

Early in the morning, when Nick Zuma woke up, he found a strange beauty lying on his bed.

It ’s not strange to say strangeness. After all, Zuma and her battled for 300 rounds last night.

"What's her name?" Zuma shook her head. The hangover had a great influence on him, making his thinking less clear. He only remembered that this beauty was a small third-line model.

For such small third-line models, it is natural to hope that they can climb up to world champions such as Zuma, just gossip about it, and maybe they will all become popular.

At the Olympics four years ago, Zuma lost to Alvin and only got the runner-up of 400 meters, but when Alvin chose to retire again, the 400-meter project became the world of Zuma. In the past two years, Zuma has swept the 400-meter championship in almost all major track and field events.

The new king of 400 meters is born!

But there was always a regret in Zuma's heart, that was once lost to Alvin.

Zuma felt that he could not be considered the king of 400 meters before breaking Alvin ’s world record.

Zuma drank a large glass of water, feeling awake a lot, and then he came to the computer.

"Invitation letter for the Olympic training camp, what is this? Coach Li? Is that the Chinese coach of the National Track and Field Team? He invited me to participate in the Olympic training camp!"

Zuma's heart was shocked, and the desire for the Olympic champion emerged again in his heart.

"Four years ago, Alvin, who had retired, returned to the peak state under the training of this coach Lee. Maybe he will have a way to help me surpass Alvin!"

...

Justin Alexander stopped the car and glanced at the big sign of Coach Lee ’s fitness training center not far away.

He took a deep breath and walked out of the car.

A few minutes later, Alexander saw Li Dai.

"Coach, I want to participate in another Olympic Games!" Alexander said.

"Have you thought about it? After all, you are already 35 years old, and you will have to compete with a group of young men in their twenties who are at their peak." Li Dai Xiao Yin asked.

"Yes, I still don't want to retire, I want to work hard again!" Alexander said in a pause, and then said: "I saw the advertisement and I know that you started the Olympic training camp, so I came over. I still remember Four years ago, you helped Alvin go back to the top. We were training together at the time, and I know you can definitely help me! "

...

Li Dai sent more than 50 invitation letters, including American athletes and athletes from other countries. These are all Li Dai's optimistic players, and most of them have A-level or S-level talents.

At the same time, Li Dai also made a wave of advertisements and accepted interviews with some media magazines, telling the world that he opened an Olympic training camp and welcomed athletes from all over the world.

Four years ago, at the Olympic Games, many people still remember the miracle created by the old, weak, sick and athletic team in the United States. Li Dai is also famous, so many athletes responded immediately.

...

Domestic, track and field management center.

At 12 noon, Director Liu of the Track and Field Management Center came out of the meeting room.

Director Liu has already held a meeting in the morning, and will have a meeting in the afternoon.

Every year at the beginning of the year is a relatively busy time. It is necessary to summarize the results of the previous year, review the plan for the new year, and make various budgets. There are too many trivial things.

Director Liu stretched his laziness, then looked at his watch, preparing to eat in the cafeteria. At this time, the deputy director in charge of training came happily.

Director Liu thought that there was something to be said at the meeting just now, so he asked, "Lao Sun, go to the cafeteria together and talk while walking."

"Director, this matter is urgent." Deputy Director Sun said, "I also learned after the meeting. I have just received a few invitation letters from the United States. The invitation letter was sent by Li Dai from the United States. At that training center, he invited our athletes to participate in an Olympic training camp. I have verified that it is true. This is the list of invited athletes, a total of ten people. "

Deputy Director Sun handed the list to Director Liu.

Director Liu quickly glanced: "Are there any athletes in our track and field team who hope to hit the medals?"

"Yes, these ten people have reached the Olympic A standard, so there is no need to participate in the next Olympic trials." Deputy Director Sun added.

"What about expenses? What did Li Dai say?" Director Liu asked.

"Training fee is free. If you have room and board, he can solve it if necessary. Director, shall we let the athletes go?" Deputy Director Sun replied.

"What is your opinion?" Director Liu asked.

"I think this is a good opportunity. The level of track and field training in the United States is higher than that in our country, and in the last Olympics, Li Dai's performance as the head coach of the United States is also obvious to all." Deputy Director Sun replied.

Director Liu pondered for a few seconds: "People have already waived the training fee, and we will solve the board and lodging expenses ourselves ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ We can still afford the money. In addition, contact Li Dai to see See if you can give a few more training places, the opportunity is rare, can you go one more one. "

...

There is a trolley case on Zhao Yingjie's bedside, which is the newly packed luggage.

He looked at the picture of the family portrait on his phone, sighed slightly, and then dialed his mother's phone.

"Mom, what are you doing ..."

"I'm fine ..."

"Know, wear more clothes ..."

"Mom, tell you something. I will not go back for the New Year this year ..."

"I'm going to America to train ..."

"I don't know how long it will be. It may take several months ..."

When Zhao Yingjie hung up the phone, her tears could not help falling down.

As an athlete, it is not the first time to keep training during the Spring Festival.

Zhao Yingjie still remembered that he did n’t go home during the Spring Festival last year. Instead, he stayed at the base for training. His parents came here directly by plane and brought hot dumplings in a heat preservation barrel.

This time, he was going to the United States for training, and his parents could not follow.

"Mom, I really want to eat your dumplings!"
